Earshot
Hear your mix where people will.

Most people won't hear your song on studio monitors. Earshot plays your mix the way they will: on a phone speaker, in a car, on laptop speakers, through the wall at a party, on AM radio or off a worn record. Every place is matched in loudness to your mix, so you compare the sound, not the volume. It's free, with no key and no demo limits.

What it does
Everyday speakers
Car Stereo, Phone Speaker, Laptop and Cheap Earbuds: where most of your listeners actually are.
On location
Boombox and Outside the Club, for hearing what survives when the room does the mixing.
Through a wall
The Neighbour's Party, the Upstairs Apartment and Underwater. If the kick and the hook still come through, the arrangement works.
Old broadcast and formats
AM Radio, Transistor Radio, Megaphone, Old TV, Worn Vinyl, Pocket Cassette, VHS Tape and 78 RPM. Great for checking, and for music playing inside a film scene.
Hear Original
One button flips back to your untouched mix, bit for bit, with a 12 ms crossfade so there's no click. Your mix is never changed.
Amount, Mix and Output
Amount sets how strongly the place colours the sound, Mix blends it with your mix, and Output trims the place's level.
